having proved unsatisfactory; but
upon further inquiry, especially as
the existing treaty might not be found
which would meet the views of
Goth sides he became nOG-cOmmittaI be
yond the point Of admitting that such
MI nt be the possible outcome OF tie con-
ference, He said though, SIS q matter of
fact, he supposed that Minister
West and himself being q
majority OF the British commits
sion, could decide any mooted point. He
should consider any arrangement which
did not have the full concurrence of Sir
Caarles Topper very lame and unsatis-
factory one. He thought it unlikely
toe subject OF CONNER
cisi union with Canada would
come before the commission II any way.
There IVES scarcely the SHADOW Of e DOUBT
that any arrangement agreed to by the
British commissioners would be held
binding By their government. He was
not st liberty TO disclose the limits within
which the British commissioners could
traat, their instructions being COZ fideE-
tisI. He did rot think any sane mas on
the other side OF the water ever thought
of wsr as q remote possibility in connec-

governments will come together at the
informal way arrange for the con-
duct OF the negotiations, the hours

sisEance needed end other details. II is
believed that by the erd Of next week

ranged, ard the formal work Of negotia-
tons will begin. Meanwhile the visiting
diplomats will have IN opportunity 70
